Is your point that they should have a partially public funded new stadium? They already have a fully public funded one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 With Nashville in the news, the A's moving being discussed here, and talk about stadiums, this seemed like good information. The Rangers got a sweet stadium deal, invested in a free agent heavy payroll only about $10 million more than ours, and won a WS. The only way to really lock the team in Chicago is through a long term lease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 https://www.yahoo.com/news/nba-approves-sale-dallas-mavericks-170305061.html Cuban will be the alternate governor with a 27% stake in the club and will maintain control of basketball operations. He made it clear there were no plans for the franchise to leave Dallas. “The advantage is what can you build and where and you need to have somebody who’s really, really good at that,” Cuban said before the Mavs' game against Cleveland on Wednesday night. “Patrick (Dumont) and Miriam (Adelson), they’re the best in the world at what they do. Literally, around the world. “When you get a world-class partner who can come in and grow your revenue base and you’re not dependent on things that you were in the past, that’s a huge win,” Cuban said. Miriam Adelson is the controlling shareholder of Las Vegas Sands Corp., a publicly traded Las Vegas company that built the Venetian and Palazzo resorts but now only has casino operations in Macau and Singapore. Sheldon Adelson, the founder of Las Vegas Sands, died in 2021 at age 87. Cuban said when he bought the Mavericks in 2000, he had the advantage of understanding technology. He became a billionaire when the radio internet streaming company he co-founded was bought by Yahoo. Now, the future of media rights deals is in question. Diamond Sports, the company that owns the regional sports network that carries the Mavericks, is in bankruptcy proceedings. Cuban said the sale makes revenue from media rights deals much less of a concern for the Mavericks. “Financially, we’re in a far better position this afternoon than we were yesterday afternoon to be able to compete like that,” Cuban said.
